How To: Cheat A Bantu Knot Out Using Perm Rods

Bantu Knot or Perm Rod Set?? This tutorial shows you a way to achieve beautiful bouncy curls using perm rods. This twist and roll technique I did gives very similar results to my bantu knot results! So if you have a hard time or just can't seem to figure out Bantu Knots, this is your little cheat cheat to get the same results!
Be very patient when trying new styles. Don't give up on your first try. Grab that perm rod and try again! lol
With this style I started on dry stretched hair. I put my hair in twists to stretch my hair. Other way you can stretch you hair:
Braids
Bantu Kots
Bun
Banding Method
Q Redew
Blow Out
In total I used 24 Perm Rods and Let my hair dry overnight. You can sit under a hair dryer to speed up the process.

[@ActuallyAshly]

+Toni Williams yes! Just be sure to use a product with good hold!

[@brandabranda7248]

I wish my hair can "fro" I'm gonna try this but when my hair is super shrunken.

[@joyjackson8249]

God her curls are beautiful 😍

[@jimin_xi7143]

[@darknlovelyanitaw.6088]

So pretty...🙋🏿

[@fenfen0606]

DarknLovelyAnita Woods beautiful

[@abreasimone4136]

how long does this style last ? 😍

[@lunasurreal9868]

you look like tinashe with curly hair your so beautiful❤😍

[@candiceknox4999]

Do you have to use perm rods? I have foam rollers.

[@poppinhottie]

Beautiful but for some reason mine never turns out like this

[@genesism9960]

Are these the long or short perm rods ?

[@stacyserwaa9341]

will this work on mostly relaxed transitioning hair

[@ActuallyAshly]

+stacy serwaa yes!

[@user-xm4ir2su9m]

how many rods did you use?

[@jamaicansweetheart93]

Did you do like 6 in each 4 section? I'm gonna try this tonight!

[@ActuallyAshly]

+Nicolette LaPene-Williams yes! Just about! Easiest way to do it!

[@mandalee4897]

love this but my hair is short

[@an18passaic]

other than fortify'd products to hydrate your hair what is another product that can be used.

[@ActuallyAshly]

+an18passaic any product that can give you a nice hold! I like creams like this because they give a hold but leave my hair super moisturized

[@saniahprater897]

I really want to do this style but i don't have perm rods so can i use hair rollers the flexible ones?

[@ActuallyAshly]

+Saniah Prater yes!

[@saniahprater897]

+Actually Ashly thank you

[@faithbooker9194]

Can I use cantu curling cream instead?

[@Ttspboutique]

Faith Booker I love that product! I've done a perm rod set with that product

[@ActuallyAshly]

+Faith Booker yes you can use any product that works well for you!🤗

[@mariavictoria4878]

Does this work on hair a bit longer than shoulder length?

[@ActuallyAshly]

+marialikestovlog yes!

[@ImaniTheArtist3]

Get roller papers so the ends stay , old school but never fails.

[@siarrastith3502]

So do you advise against using styling gel?

[@ActuallyAshly]

+Siarra Stith no, I just don't use it often and for this style I wanted more bounce and movement. And the product did that while leaving my hair moisturized.

[@nicholecannedy4581]

have u used the cantu products

[@ActuallyAshly]

+Nichole Cannedy yes! I LOVE their Twist + Loc gel

[@bris.5287]

YASSSSS!!!👀❤😻Slayyy

[@coilychronicles9639]

[@aysho2676]
